2 Foundational Skills SECTION The Writing Process for Step Up to Writing Your writing assignments will go more smoothly if you follow the writing process. 1. Prewrite Brainstorm, discuss, or research the topic.. Plan 3. Draft Organize your thoughts and ideas such as in an outline or a set of sketches. Write one draft.. Revise 5. Edit 6. Write final copy 7. Proofread 8. Share and/or publish Add, delete, or rearrange text to improve wording, organization and flow, interest, or level of detail. Polish by fixing CUPS errors: Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation, and Spelling. Create a final, clean copy. Type or use your best handwriting. Correct minor errors, such as typos. Make corrections as needed. Celebrate! Share your writing with family, friends, or classmates. Task, Purpose, and Audience Who are you writing for, and why? The answer to these questions helps you decide how to best express yourself. Task What is the assignment? Will you write a short summary, an essay, or create a website? Identify the final product, length or research requirements, and other details. Purpose Is your goal to explain, convince, or tell a story? This helps you set the mood or tone the writing style you use. Audience Do your readers know your topic? Are they peers, adults, or younger children? You will choose words, a style, and ideas that best fit your readers. Handy Pages Grades 6 8 5
3 Foundational Skills Parts of Speech Knowing the jobs of different words helps you write sentences that make sense. Noun Names a person, place, thing, or idea The tundra is one of the coldest places on the planet. Adjective Tells which one, what kind, or how many about a noun or pronoun The few plants and animals that live in the tundra's harsh environment struggle to stay alive. Verb Expresses action or state of being Some animals in the Arctic tundra hibernate in the winter, but others migrate to warmer climates. Adverb Tells how, when, where, or to what degree about a verb, adjective, or another adverb Because of the low temperatures, water in the Arctic tundra evaporates very slowly. Masterful Sentences Good sentences convey your meaning, and sentence variety makes your writing interesting. A clause includes a subject and predicate. Independent clauses can stand alone they can be complete sentences. Dependent clauses can t stand alone; to make sense they must be connected to an independent clause. Simple Compound Complex Compoundcomplex Four Sentence Structures Some Arctic animals hibernate. independent clause Some Arctic animals hibernate but others migrate. independent clause independent clause coordinating conjunction Some Arctic animals hibernate when winter arrives. independent clause dependent clause coordinating conjunction independent clause independent clause Some Arctic animals hibernate but others migrate when winter arrives, so that they can survive. dependent clause dependent clause 6 Handy Pages Grades 6 8
4 Perfect Paragraphs Plan your perfect paragraph with an informal outline. Make sure to support each key/star idea with details! Title = Learn to Play Topic = How playing an instrument improves life P Mastering an instrument teaches discipline (Transition: to begin with) P Playing is a great way to relax (Transition: however) Practice Tedious drills Study musical notation Music takes up all your attention Problems fade away Conclusion = It will change your life Learn to Play Title Topic Sentence Supporting Details Learning to play a musical instrument can improve your life. To begin with, mastering an instrument teaches discipline. Learning to play involves taking time to practice, repeating tedious drills, and studying the language of musical notation. However, once you develop these basic skills, playing an instrument is a great way to relax. When you re strumming a guitar or playing the piano, the music takes up all of your attention, and day-to-day problems fade away. Consider taking up a musical instrument to change your life. Key/Star Idea Key/Star Idea Conclusion Can you find each part of the outline in the paragraph? Handy Pages Grades 6 8 7
5 Foundational Skills Types of Writing You can write to explain, to convince, or to tell a story. Each of these is a different type of writing. Informative/Explanatory Writing Gives information or explains ideas. The Tuareg Title Topic Sentence Key/Star Idea Elaboration or Details The Tuareg, nomads of the Sahara Desert, have a distinct way of life. For centuries they have lived as wandering herders and traders. Herders camp wherever they can find plants and water. Traders carry dates, grains, salt, and other goods to market. Both groups depend on the camel for transportation and to carry heavy loads. The Tuareg s culture is as fascinating as their nomadic lifestyle. They are known as fearless warriors. They play drum-filled music, create jewelry, and wear turbans dyed blue with indigo. They are sometimes called The Blue People because of the dye that rubs off on their skin. Outsiders are fascinated by the Tuareg s unique culture and lifestyle. Conclusion Argument Writing States and supports a claim. In argument, the topic sentence includes the claim. Time for the Tuareg to Stop Wandering Title Topic Sentence Elaboration or Details Although the Tuareg have always been a nomadic, it is time for them to stop wandering. One reason to do so is to improve relations with other tribal groups. The Tuareg s laws and traditions differ from those in some of the areas they travel through, causing friction between tribes. Friction and even deadly conflict is also caused by competition for water and grazing land. Another reason to settle down is environmental change. Years of little rain and blowing sand have expanded the desert. Now there are fewer water holes and less grazing land that the Tuareg s livestock need. Due to these cultural and environmental challenges, the Tuareg should change their nomadic way of life. In argument, the key/star ideas are reasons. In argument, the detail is called evidence. Conclusion 8 Handy Pages Grades 6 8
6 Narrative Writing Nonfiction Tells a true or fictional story. The following is an example of non-fiction narrative writing. The Salt Caravans of the Tuareg Title Beginning Middle End Each winter, Tuareg traders gather in Timbuktu for a difficult but necessary journey. In caravans, most of which include camels, they travel across the Sahara Desert to Bilma, an oasis in Niger. An experienced guide called a madagu leads the caravans on a grueling journey lasting up to three weeks. They make this trip to obtain salt an important nutrient that is rare in this part of the world. When they reach Bilma at last, they trade goats and crops for salt from local pits. Camels may carry as much as 600 pounds of salt on the return trip. Back in Timbuktu, traders sell this salt at the market. Despite its difficulty, the trip is well worth the effort. What type of writing do you most enjoy reading or creating? Handy Pages Grades 6 8 9
7 Informative/Explanatory Writing SECTION Elements of Informative/Explanatory Writing Writing that informs or explains is all around you in the news, instructions, or textbooks, to name a few. When you summarize, or write paragraphs or reports to share information, use the elements below. Organization is key. Use informal outlines and Traffic Light colors to plan a paragraph, essay, or report. Topic sentences are the heart. Use green to remember that topic sentences tell readers what you are going to explain. In essays, the topic sentence is called a thesis statement. Transitions are the glue for the key/star ideas. Use yellow to remind yourself to slow down and make smooth, clear transitions when you introduce a new key/star idea. Examples, evidence, and explanation are the meat. Use red to remind yourself to stop and explain. Examples, evidence, and explanation support your key/star ideas. Conclusions tie it all together with a ribbon. Use green again. Remember to go back to your topic. A good conclusion reminds readers of the purpose of your paragraph or essay. Stretch, Don t Stack For longer written pieces, stretch the red by adding more examples, evidence and explanation (like an accordion), rather than stacking more key/star ideas. P P Elaboration { stretch Elaboration What topics for informative/explanatory writing interest you? Handy Pages Grades
8 Informative/Explanatory Writing Planning and Organizing Informative/Explanatory Writing Create an informal outline, with a topic and ideas for the conclusion. Topic = Types of robots PTeleoperated robots (Transition: one) P Supervisory robots (Transition: another) P Autonomous robots (Transition: a final kind) Controlled directly by a person Remotely Example of use: search and rescue Programmed for particular jobs Example of use: factories Programmed to work by themselves Sensors provide input Example of use: driverless cars Conclusion = Different types of robots for different kinds of jobs Introductions Start off with a strong introduction to draw your reader in: include a topic sentence/thesis statement presenting your main point. A plan sentence gives your readers a sense of how you have organized your key/star ideas and details. Writers often use a lead to get readers attention and spark their interest in a topic. Leads Add a lead before your topic sentence when you want to add interest or background for the reader. Leads are blue because, like the blues, they jazz up your writing. Plan Sentence Indicates how you plan to support the topic or thesis using key/star ideas. Lead From androids to drones, humans have been fascinated with robots, imagined and real. Real robots now have more roles in the Topic Sentence real world. There are three types of robots in use today. Plan Sentence 1 Handy Pages Grades 6 8
9 Topic Sentences Use sentence structures like these to craft a great topic sentence. Action Verb Topic Sentence Occasion/Position Statement More than a billion people lack access to clean water. Although bike helmets may not be fashionable, riders should wear them. strong verb occasion (reason for writing) position Power (Number) Statement The List Statement Quotations Students traveling to Rome will want to visit five spectacular sights. When buying a car, look for a vehicle that is safe, reliable, and economical. In 1961, John F. Kennedy said, Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. (could use several) (list of subtopics) (quotes have impact) Transitions Use transitions to help readers follow your ideas. Choose them with purpose to introduce ideas and show their relationship to one another. Look for other transitions to use in your writing. Basic one the other also to begin next one example in addition besides finally Compare/ Contrast equal to likewise a similar the same as unlike on the other hand in contrast different from but Place or Location near beside between outside inside behind under next to throughout Time before during until after later then meanwhile as soon as sometimes Making a Point for example for instance an example of as well as in other words the most important furthermore Be aware of transitions as you read. Collect and add new transitions to the lists. What type of topic sentence do you most often use? Circle another on the list to try out sometime soon. Handy Pages Grades
10 Informative/Explanatory Writing Elaboration Using the E s Add "meat" to your paper by adding more elaboration, or the E's. Using E's means you will stretch, not stack your ideas for stronger writing. Explanation Elaboration Experiences Everyday life Examples Expert Opinion Events Exact Information Evidence Effective Illustration Effective Quotations Give details that identify, describe, or clarify. Offer additional information that develops an idea. Relate a particular experience that helps readers understand or relate. Write about someone s daily or regular life to help readers understand or relate. Offer specific situations or cases. Use thoughtful observations made by someone who has studied the issue in depth. Write about a specific event or events. Include statistics and data from trustworthy sources. Provide factual details or proof. Include metaphors, similes, or descriptions that help readers visualize. Include a quotation that helps a reader understand or connect to an idea. Conclusions Finish strong! Make an impression on your reader with a formal conclusion, a closing statement, or a clincher. These conclusions summarize, restate the main idea, or wrap up the topic in a less formal way. Remember the Basics Use Conclusion Words Tips for Conclusions Restate your main idea by repeating key words from it or using synonyms. If it fits and makes sense for your purpose and audience, include conclusion words or phrases such as all in all, clearly, in conclusion, overall, or to sum up. Use sparingly and only if they really work. 1 Handy Pages Grades 6 8
11 Text Features, Graphics, and Multimedia These features, used wisely, make your writing really shine. Text features can help organize, and graphics and multimedia can add relevant detail. Some examples are shown below. Other features not shown include: charts, tables, diagrams and labels, timelines, flowcharts, or multimedia (photos, audio, video, and web links). Heading Table Bacteria You can't see them, but they're everywhere! Bacteria are single-celled organisms that come in many shapes, and live in many environments. How big are they? Bacteria are from 100 to 6,000 nanometers in length, can only be seen with a microscope. How Big is That? nanometer meter gigameter Bolded word (to be explained in the text) 1 billionth of a meter Bacteria 1 meter (about 39 inches) About one big step 1 billion meters About 5 times around the Earth Bulleted list Numbered list How many kinds are there? Bacteria are classified into five groups according to shape: 1. Rod-shaped with rounded ends, called bacilli.. Spiral- or wavy-shaped, called spirilla. 3. Spherical bacteria, called cocci (see figure).. Comma-shaped, called vibrios. 5. Corkscrew-shaped, called spirochetes. Drawing of Cocci Figure, with caption What topics might be clarified by a timeline? A photo? Think about topics and the kinds of graphics that would make them clearer and more interesting.
